李珊珊

What is the girl’s wish?
2. Which sentences are used to express her wish?

And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls

And I'd ever get confronted for it
Because they'd stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
